Guests say
Kenmore Lodge receives glowing feedback for its beautiful location, spacious and well-equipped interiors, and high standards of cleanliness. Guests particularly appreciate the open-plan living area, excellent kitchen facilities, and dog-friendly features. The property is praised for its proximity to scenic walks and the village, making it an ideal base for exploring the area. Minor suggestions include a front garden gate for dogs and larger pans for group cooking, but overall, guests consistently express a desire to return.
Multiple reviews highlight the property as spotlessly clean and well maintained, with guests noting pristine conditions throughout their stay.
The location is frequently described as beautiful, central, and within walking distance to the village and Loch Tay, with excellent access to local walks and attractions. Some mention temporary road closures, but this does not detract from the overall positive impression.
Guests find the lodge spacious, comfortable, and well heated, with quality furnishings and beds. A few mention personal preferences regarding mattress firmness and the need for a gate for dogs, but comfort is overwhelmingly praised.
The property is repeatedly described as extremely well equipped, especially the kitchen, with ample utensils, games, and entertainment options. Suggestions for improvement include larger pans and a tumble dryer, but these are minor compared to the overall satisfaction.
Guests appreciate the attention to detail, such as toiletries, cleaning supplies, and dog-friendly touches. While small touches are mentioned, there is no reference to gifts, so guests should note that such items are not guaranteed.

We have been visiting Kenmore for years and the location of this property is amazing. Gorgeous views of the loch and a short walk down to the village. Accommodation is very well stocked with lots of lovely touches. I am sure we will be back to stay here soon.

We enjoyed our stay at Kenmore Lodge, one downside no gate on the front garden which has been mentioned in a previous review. Because of the upside down nature of the house we had to be in the garden with the dogs. We liked the open plan aspect of the upstairs and the comfortable furniture. Plenty of floor space for the dogs, front lobby was great for boots and coats.Beds were very comfortable and a plentiful amount of towels, bathrooms well equipped with powerful showers and toiletries.Would have been good to have a small chair in the 2 smaller bedrooms to put clothes on as no hooks on doors. A small point. We enjoyed the Riverside walks by the river Tay and a visit to Aberfeldy.
